Finally played episode 3 (I was out of town from last Wednesday through Monday, and didn't get a chance until now) and I have a theory about the animal deaths:
I think that, generally speaking, the first entry after a new console generation is always going to be more mind-blowing than follow-ups, because the baseline hardware has increased what's possible.
You silly brits and recognizing these people. Tyrion and Boromir are I think the only people I've recognized so far.
Also, I'm confused about what you mean by "Game of Thrones: Brotherhood".
So if I understand that correctly right now we are at or near the books, and for the most part (bar a couple arcs) this is new territory or will be soon.
I assume Rickon and Bran haven't caught up yet based on Mal's comment. It seems odd to me that they aren't going to be in this season at all.
I'm okay with a little bit of special display after you die. Do any modern games do anything other than just sending you back to the last checkpoint or opening a load screen though?
I finally got caught up today. I agree that I'm bored with Ramsay, there's no depth to his character. It seemed for a bit like he might develop some, once he was actually legitimized and couldn't politically afford to just do whatever he wants anymore.
Yeah, sorry, I wasn't really trying to argue with you anyway, it was more general ranting directed at the internet at large, your comment just had happened to make me think about it again.
I want getting defensive, I haven't played this game and don't plan to, it's just been irritating me more and more recently how people scream conspiracy and false advertising every time a game doesn't live up to the original plan from early development.
IMO a trailer released two years before the game comes out isn't false advertising because obviously things are doing to change. Now if the trailer released a month before the game comes out misrepresents the game then yeah, false advertising.
I wish people would stop losing their shoot over "downgrades". This has been happening as long as I've been following gaming news, so at least 15+ years. It goes like this: devs release a game trailer a couple years before it will actually release showing what they plan for the game to look like, then later in development they realize it's unrealistic for whatever reason (most likely that it's not worth the additional cost to bring the whole game up to that standard when
